Beschreibung

Myanmars Dschungel gilt als sagenumwoben. Angeblich soll er eine Schatzkammer seltener Tiere beherbergen, deren Existenz in anderen südostasiatischen Staaten massiv bedroht ist. Eine Jahrzehnte lang herrschende Militärdiktatur hat dafür gesorgt, das Land komplett zu isolieren und den undurchdringlichen Dschungel zu einem Ort voller Geheimnisse und Mythen werden zu lassen. In dieser zweiteiligen Dokumentation begibt sich ein Team von Tierfilmern und Biologen in den Dschungel Myanmars, um herauszufinden, ob die riesigen, zusammenhängenden Waldgebiete nicht nur seltene Tiere beherbergen, sondern sogar unbekannte Arten. Denn nur wenn dieser Nachweis erbracht ist, kann die Natur Myanmars dauerhaft vor Raubbau und Wilderei geschützt werden.

Episode 1

On the first leg of their journey, wildlife film-makers Gordon Buchanan and Justine Evans set out to discover whether the mountains of western Burma are home to a population of Asian elephants that could prove critical to the survival of the species. Finding elephants in a dense bamboo forest is a challenge. Notoriously grumpy, Asian elephants are likely to charge if caught unaware. It is a race against time as the world eyes up Burma's natural riches - what the team finds could change the future of Burma's wilds forever.

High on the forest ridges, Gordon finds evidence to suggest that Burma's wildlife might be in danger. Undercover filming in a border town known as the 'Las Vegas of the jungle' leads to a shocking discovery.

For the last leg of their journey, the team search for the most iconic animal of them all, the tiger. To find it, they must split up. Wildlife camerawoman Justine Evans and the science team head to the tangled jungles of northern Burma, one of the largest swathes of unbroken forest in Southeast Asia. Wildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan heads to the only other place in Burma where tigers may still exist, the far south. The forests of Karen State were once home to a thriving population of tigers, but this region has been isolated by war for over 60 years and little is known about the fate of the animals.The team must overcome intense physical hardship and tough field conditions to find the evidence they need to help preserve this unique and largely untouched wilderness. What they discover could change the future of Burma's forests forever.
